If you take away the hiring bonuses or even lower starting pay you’ll lose a lot of the applicants. All they need to see is things going in the wrong direction.
If you make them pay on top of that, you’ll lose basically all applicants.
that is true, the pipeline is not as full as it appears. Yeah, there’s 1000 guys from compass and TSA, blah, blah, blah. Some of those guys will leave flying all together, and any that haven’t will certainly not come back for PFT after the previous hiring cycle they just witnessed.
